Cooking Indigenous American Cuisine

What would American cuisine look like if you removed all European influence? This is the question asked by Sean Sherman, an American chef who is focused on cooking with indigenous ingredients.

Sherman runs the Sioux Chef food company and is set to open a restaurant soon thanks to a Kickstarter campaign.

In the video below, produced by AJ+, Sherman talks about his cooking philosophy which involves removing all processed foods from his cooking,including chicken, beef and pork.

The video centres on a pop-up dinner with Sherman and Karlos Baca - another chef who shares Sherman’s dedicated approach to cooking with indigenous American ingredients.
